In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:

Ryan I am so disappointed to see you say this. AEG would not exist without the hard work of its human designers. You know damn well that Peter and John are better than AI and will be for a long time to come. An AI that can't tell you how to go to the carwash isn't going to be able to tell you how to play a game, either. Playing many iterations of chess by following the rules it is given is a computation issue that has nothing in common with the complex mess of inspiration and psychology required to design a game.

A highlight of @orcacon.bsky.social for me was the upcoming "Variance " expansion for Logic & Lore from @weirdgiraffegames.com . A two-player logic game where each turn you ask your opponent about the cards in front of you, attempting to blindly arrange them in numerical order.

I played Oros! It took me a few turns to understand what I was doing but I ended up really liking the action selection system. You move a person to that action, but then it’s blocked until it’s moved or sent to the island. What’s your favorite game with a bit of a puzzle in action selection?

I played Rebirth for the first time! I’d seen it at Pax Unplugged and it looked interesting, so I was excited to try it. It was a lot simpler than I thought it’d be, but still fun. It’s draw a tile, place a tile with objectives and area control.

Yarn wall is slowly progressing! Do you do anything unique for craft or board game storage? Whenever I get stressed, I get the idea in my head that the way to fix whatever it is that’s bothering me is the perfect storage solution for something. Obviously that’s not true but MAYBE IT IS???

Artwork is happening! I’m really excited about this, as the dice definitely change the way I play the game. I can have a plan… then dice happen, so I have to compensate, but the information learned is new and can be super useful.

Ok, I can’t decide on things. I started with the green in the middle and was going to do an octagon square pattern with the top left or top right, then thought about the yellow and nothing is entirely making me happy. This is for a blanket. Thoughts on the yellow and green? What color with it?
